Darlings, I’m excited to share photos with you from Friday night’s red carpet Oscar party at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills, hosted by QVC. As you know (because you so sweetly helped style me for the party), I had planned out my look for the fancy schmancy shindig. However, LA’s angry skies had other plans, as the biggest rainstorm I’ve ever witnessed in LA decided that Friday would be a perfect time to unleash its fury (Burbank even had SNOW the following night – crazy!). Luckily, the LisaMichelle Collection coat dress still worked perfectly for the occasion and helped to keep me warm in the wet and wild jungle of LA celebrity.

Instead of wearing the coat as a dress, I threw on this Notte by Marchesa dress underneath, as well as some much-needed tights and less precarious heels (thank goodness because stilettos don’t get along so famously with swampy gardens!). A black patent leather Kate Spade clutch sealed the deal. Oh, and yes, that is a new hair ‘do, thanks so much for noticing. Corey at Nelson J Salon in Beverly Hills did the ‘do and I loved her and will be back (she listened, did exactly what I wanted and was a total sweetheart, plus the salon was hidden away and so laidback and peaceful). I was also so lucky to get my makeup done at the QVC pampering suite at the Four Seasons beforehand by the ladies of Tarte Cosmetics. Who sat down right next to me to have her makeup touched up? The adorable Sara Rue (who has the most gorgeous hair and skin, btdubs) and was beyond sweet.

The party was a glamorous crush of people, including Jessica Simpson’s right-hand man Ken Paves, who was demoing his hair extensions (see the piece on top of his cabeza!).

We also spotted Donald Trump and his famous mane, wife Melania Trump, Colin Firth (who I may or may not have shamelessly tried to chase down shouting Mr. Darcy, Mr. Darcy!), Camila Alves and my favorite, Joan Rivers.
